Here is more the Buddhist view on things 7L.

Then said Mahamati to the Blessed One: Why is it that the ignorant are given up to discrimination and the wise are not?
The Blessed One replied: it is because the ignorant cling to names, signs and ideas; as their minds move along these
channels they feed on multiplicities of objects and fall into the notion of and ego-soul and what belongs to it; they make
discriminations of good and bad among appearances and cling to the agreeable. As they thus cling there is a reversion to
ignorance, and karma born of greed, anger and folly, is accumulated. As the accumulation of karma goes on they become
imprisioned in a cocoon of discrimination and are thenceforth unable to free themselves from the round of birth and death.
Because of folly they do not understand that all things are like maya, like the reflection of the moon in water, that there is
no self-substance to be imagined as an ego-soul and its belongings, and that all their definite ideas rise from their false
discriminations of what exists only as it is seen of the mind itself. They do not realise that things have nothing to do with
qualify and qualifying, nor with the course of birth, abiding and destruction, and instead they assert that they are born of a
creator, of time, of atoms, of some celestial spirit. It is because the ignorant are given up to discrimination that they move
along with the stream of appearances, but it is not so with the wise.
